About the Owner

Guestbook comments from the owner

“Arriving at Gwalia after a long journey to find it so comfortable, clean and warm was bliss. The cottage was in the most beautiful spot so to sit and watch the sun set with a glass of the wine which was left in the cottage was heavenly. I have never stayed in such a well equipped cottage. Sian and Brian were very helpful and friendly and helped to make our stay a total joy. We hope to go back.” - Feedback - May 2014
